Answer 1

I got solution after using below command:

git repack -a -f -d --window=250 --depth=250

Answer 2

The only thing that worked for me was to clone the repo using the HTTPS link instead of the SSH link.

Answer 3

I got the same issue, I fixed this with trial and error method. I changed the core.compression value until it works.

I started with "git config --global core.compression 1" after 3 attempts

"git config --global core.compression 4" worked for me.

Answer 4

Check your internet speed. Also check the following commands:

$ git config --global http.postBuffer 2M
$ git pull origin master

Answer 5

This worked for me, setting up Googles nameserver because no standard nameserver was specified, followed by restarting networking:

sudo echo "dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8" >> /etc/network/interfaces && sudo ifdown venet0:0 && sudo ifup venet0:0

None of the above worked for me, but here's what did: https://stackoverflow.com/a/22317479

The complete error message I'd been receiving was:
